DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For clearer descriptions of the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A method for playing audios provided in the present disclosure may be implemented by a terminal or jointly performed by the terminal and a server. The terminal may run an application program having an audio playing function, for example, an audio playing application program. The terminal may include components such as a microphone, an earphone, a speaker, and a camera. In addition, the terminal further includes a vibration motor. The vibration motor may be but is not limited to a rotary motor or a linear motor. The terminal has a communication function, can access to the Internet, and may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an intelligent wearable device, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, or the like. The server may be a background server for the application program having the audio playing function, and may establish a communication with the terminal. The server may be an independent server or a server group. In the case that the server is an independent server, the server may be responsible for all processing in the following solutions; in the case that the server is a server group, different servers in the server group are respectively responsible for different processing in the following solutions. A specific allocation condition of the processing may be specified by a technical person freely according to actual needs, details of which are not described herein again.

A user may download music from a network by using a music playing application program installed in the terminal, and play the downloaded music by using the terminal. A person may sense an intensity of a musical rhythm through a tactile sensation in addition to an auditory sensation. For example, when moving close to a high-power stereo which is playing music, a person may sense vibration generated by the stereo which is playing a super bass. According to this embodiment of the present disclosure, when music is played by the terminal, the vibration motor in the terminal may be controlled to vibrate, thereby giving auditory and tactile feedback to the user.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for playing audios according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment may be applicable to a terminal. Referring to FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

In step 101, vibration control information corresponding to a target audio is acquired.

At least one vibration period and vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period are recorded in the vibration control information, and each vibration period corresponds to a beat period of a target percussive instrument in the target audio.

The vibration control information may be a vibration file used for controlling a terminal to vibrate. The terminal may control a vibration motor in the terminal to vibrate by executing the vibration file. The vibration attribute information may include a vibration intensity and a vibration frequency of each vibration period, and may further include information such as vibration intensity variation information and vibration frequency variation information in each vibration period. In other words, the vibration intensity and the vibration frequency of the vibration period may vary with time.

In some embodiments, a music playing application program may be provided with a sound effect option. After clicking the sound effect option, a user may select various sound effects provided in the music playing application program. The various sound effects include a motion-sensing sound effect. After the user selects the motion-sensing sound effect, when playing the target audio by using the music playing application program, the user may determine whether the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is stored locally. In the case that the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is not stored locally, the user may send a request for acquiring the vibration control information to a server to acquire the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio, the request carrying an identifier of the target audio. Alternatively, the terminal may process the target audio to acquire the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio. The target audio is pre-stored in the terminal or downloaded by using the music playing application program.

There may be the following two processing modes by which the terminal processes the target audio to acquire the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio.

Mode 1: an audio of at least one target percussive instrument is acquired by performing sound source separation on the target audio; at least one beat period is determined from the audio of the at least one target percussive instrument, and an audio amplitude corresponding to the at least one beat period is determined; at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period, vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period is determined based on the audio amplitude corresponding to the at least one beat period, and the vibration control information is generated.

In some embodiments, the target audio may be input into a pre-trained sound source separation model in the terminal to acquire an audio of a target percussive instrument corresponding to the target audio. There may be one or more target percussive instruments, such as a drum set or a triangolo. After the audio of the target percussive instrument corresponding to the target audio is determined, each beat period of the target percussive instrument, namely, a start moment and an end moment of a beat sound of the target percussive instrument, may be determined based on dynamic variation of a waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument, and an amplitude of an audio in each beat period may be determined. For example, a time point at which the waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument starts to vibrate may be determined as the start moment of the beat sound of the target percussive instrument; and a time point at which the waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument stops vibrating may be determined as the end moment of the beat sound of the target percussive instrument. Then, a vibration period of which start moment and end moment are the same as those of each beat period of the target percussive instrument is determined; and vibration attribute information corresponding to each vibration period is determined based on the amplitude of the audio in the corresponding beat period. The average audio amplitude or maximum audio amplitude of all audio frames of the beat period may be used as an audio amplitude corresponding to the beat period; and then, vibration attribute information corresponding to a vibration period may be determined according to a pre-stored correspondence between an audio amplitude and vibration attribute information. Finally, the vibration control information corresponding to the audio is generated based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

Mode 2: an audio of at least one target percussive instrument is acquired by performing sound source separation on the target audio; at least one beat period is determined from the audio of the at least one target percussive instrument, and an instrument type of a target percussive instrument corresponding to the at least one beat period is determined; at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period, vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period is determined based on the instrument type corresponding to the at least one beat period and a pre-stored correspondence between an instrument type and vibration attribute information, and the vibration control information is generated.

In some embodiments, the target audio is input into a pre-trained sound source separation model to acquire an audio of a target percussive instrument corresponding to the target audio. Each beat period of the target percussive instrument and a corresponding vibration period are determined based on dynamic variation of a waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument. Then, audio data corresponding to each beat period is converted into frequency-domain data. Each instrument type of the target percussive instrument is determined according to distribution of high frequencies and low frequencies in the frequency-domain data. For example, in the case that a drum set includes a snare drum, a bass drum, and cymbals, the instrument type may be determined as the cymbals when a proportion of the high frequencies is large, determined as the bass drum when a proportion of the low frequencies is large, or determined as the snare drum in other scenarios. Finally, the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period is acquired according to correspondences which are pre-stored in the terminal and are between different instrument types and corresponding vibration attribute information; and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is generated based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

In step 102, the target audio and the vibration control information are played synchronously.

In some embodiments, when the user clicks a play option which corresponds to the target audio and is in the music playing application program, an audio playing application program may send an instruction for playing the target audio to the terminal; the target audio may be played through a speaker or an externally connected earphone; and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is executed when the target audio starts to be played.

In some embodiments, when the terminal receives the instruction for playing the target audio, the target audio is acquired and decoded; and in the case that a predetermined duration elapses upon receipt of the instruction for playing the target audio, the decoded data of the target audio and the vibration control information are played synchronously.

In some embodiments, after receiving the instruction for playing the target audio, the terminal may decode the target audio to generate decoded data which can be played by the terminal. However, because a processing capability of a processor in the terminal is unstable in practice, duration by which the terminal decodes the target audio is uncertain. As a result, play time of the target audio is uncertain, such that the vibration period in the vibration control information may not coincide with the beat period in the target audio. The predetermined duration may be set in the terminal to ensure that the vibration period in the vibration control information coincides with the beat period in the target audio. When the instruction for playing the target audio is received, the terminal may decode the target audio within the predetermined duration. The decoded data of the target audio may start to be played when the predetermined duration is reached after the terminal receives the instruction for playing the target audio. At the same time, the vibration control information is performed, and the terminal is controlled to vibrate based on the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio.

In step 103, when any vibration period of at least one vibration period is played, a terminal is controlled to vibrate based on vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period. That is, when the target audio is played in any vibration period of at least one vibration period, a terminal is controlled to vibrate based on vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

In some embodiments, when the terminal plays the target audio, the music playing application program may control the vibration motor in the terminal to vibrate based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information which are recorded in the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio. A vibration control instruction may be sent to the terminal when a predetermined sending duration before the beat period in the target audio is reached during playing of the target audio by the terminal, wherein the vibration control instruction carries vibration attribute information and a vibration period, namely, a start time point at which the terminal is controlled to vibrate, vibration duration, a vibration frequency, and a vibration amplitude within the vibration duration, and the like. After the control instruction is received, when the beat period in the target audio is played, the terminal may control the vibration motor in the terminal to vibrate based on the vibration attribute information and the vibration period which are carried in the vibration control instruction.

According to this embodiment of the present disclosure, by acquiring vibration control information corresponding to a target audio, and controlling a terminal to vibrate based on the vibration control information when the target audio is played, the terminal is enabled to not only play the audio to a user through a speaker or an earphone, but also present the audio via vibration. Therefore, the versatility and flexibility of presenting/playing audios by the terminal are improved.

FIG. 2 shows a method for playing audios according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, a flow of the method for playing audios is performed jointly by a terminal and a server. Referring to FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

In step 201, the server receives, from a terminal, a request for acquiring a target audio.

In some embodiments, a user may operate a music playing application program to play the target audio. When the target audio is not stored in the terminal, the terminal may send a request for acquiring the target audio to the server. After receiving the request for acquiring the target audio, the server may determine whether vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is present.

In step 202, the server sends the target audio and vibration control information corresponding to the target audio to the terminal.

At least one vibration period and vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period are recorded in the vibration control information, and each vibration period corresponds to a beat period of a target percussive instrument in the target audio. The vibration control information indicates that in a process of playing the target audio by the terminal, when any vibration period of the at least one vibration period is played, the terminal is controlled to vibrate based on vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

In some embodiments, when the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is present, the server may send the target audio and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio to the terminal.

Before sending the vibration control information to the terminal, the server may process audios in an audio library to acquire vibration control information corresponding to each audio. There may be two processing modes as follows.

Mode 1: an audio of at least one target percussive instrument is acquired by performing sound source separation on the target audio; at least one beat period is determined from the audio of the at least one target percussive instrument, and an instrument type of a target percussive instrument corresponding to the at least one beat period is determined; at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period, vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period is determined based on the instrument type corresponding to the at least one beat period and a pre-stored correspondence between an instrument type and vibration attribute information, and the vibration control information is generated.

In some embodiments, in addition to audios of various types of music, the audio library may further store category information corresponding to the music, such as lyric music, pure music, hip-hop music, and electronic music. Generally, it is inappropriate to vibrate the terminal for playing of music such as lyric music and pure music which has a slow rhythm. Therefore, processing music such as lyric music and pure music which has a slow rhythm may be skipped. The server may select an audio which needs to be processed and for which vibration control information needs to be generated based on category information of music. For example, the server may process only audios corresponding to hip-hop music and electronic music. Generally, an audio includes a plurality of pieces of audio track information. Different instruments as well as different people' voices in the audio correspond to different pieces of audio track information. The server may acquire audio track information corresponding to the target percussive instrument, to acquire the audio of the target percussive instrument. When failing to directly acquire each piece of audio track information of an audio, the server may acquire the audio of the target percussive instrument corresponding to the audio through a pre-trained sound source separation model, as shown in FIG. 3. After the audio of the target percussive instrument corresponding to the target audio is determined, each beat period of the target percussive instrument, namely, a start moment and an end moment of a beat sound of the target percussive instrument, may be determined based on dynamic variation of a waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument, and an amplitude of an audio in each beat period may be determined. As shown in FIG. 4, the server may set vibration periods having the same duration based on the determined beat period of the target percussive instrument; and determine vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration periods based on the amplitude of the audio in each beat period, thereby acquiring the vibration control information corresponding to the audio.

In some embodiments, a maximum audio amplitude among audio amplitudes at all time points of each beat period of the at least one beat period is determined as an audio amplitude corresponding to the beat period.

In some embodiments, the maximum audio amplitude in all beat periods in the target audio may be determined as an amplitude corresponding to an audio of the beat period. The vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period is determined based on an audio amplitude and vibration attribute information which are pre-stored. Finally, the vibration control information corresponding to the audio is generated based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

Mode 2: an audio of at least one target percussive instrument is acquired by performing sound source separation on the target audio; at least one beat period is determined from the audio of the at least one target percussive instrument, and an audio amplitude corresponding to the at least one beat period is determined; at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period, vibration attribute information corresponding to the at least one vibration period is determined based on the audio amplitude corresponding to the at least one beat period, and the vibration control information is generated.

In some embodiments, the server may input the target audio into a pre-trained sound source separation model to acquire an audio of a target percussive instrument corresponding to the target audio. Each beat period of the target percussive instrument and a corresponding vibration period are determined based on dynamic variation of a waveform in the audio of the target percussive instrument. Then, audio data corresponding to each beat period is converted into frequency-domain data. Each instrument type of the target percussive instrument is determined according to distribution of high frequencies and low frequencies in the frequency-domain data. For example, in the case that a drum set includes a snare drum, a bass drum, and cymbals, the instrument type may be determined as the cymbals when a proportion of the high frequencies is large, determined as the bass drum when a proportion of the low frequencies is large, or determined as the snare drum in other scenarios. Finally, the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period is acquired according to correspondences which are pre-stored in the terminal and are between different instrument types and corresponding vibration attribute information; and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is generated based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

In some embodiments, when processing the audios in the audio library to acquire vibration control information corresponding to each audio, the server may detect whether the audio is suitable for the terminal to vibrate while playing based on information in an audio, and generate vibration control information of an audio which is suitable for the terminal to vibrate while playing. The above process may determine by the following two modes.

Mode 1: in the case that a proportion of a total duration of the at least one beat period to an entire duration of the target audio is within a predetermined proportion range, the at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period.

In some embodiments, the total duration of all beat periods in the target audio may be determined after duration of each beat period in the target audio is determined. In the case that a proportion of the total duration of all the beat periods to the entire duration of the target audio is within the predetermined proportion range, the vibration period may be determined based on the determined duration of each beat period in the target audio; and vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period may be determined based on an audio amplitude corresponding to the beat period, thereby acquiring the vibration control information. Finally, the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is uploaded to the music library.

Mode 2: in the case that a number of the at least one beat period is within a predetermined number range, the at least one vibration period is determined based on the at least one beat period.

In some embodiments, the number of all beat periods in the target audio may be determined after duration of each beat period in the target audio is determined. In the case that the number of all the beat periods is within the predetermined number range, the vibration period may be determined based on the determined duration of each beat period in the target audio, and vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period may be determined based on an audio amplitude corresponding to the beat period, thereby acquiring the vibration control information. Finally, the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is uploaded to the music library.

In addition, after generating the vibration control information, the server may further determine, by detecting the generated vibration control information, whether an audio corresponding to the vibration control information is suitable for the terminal to vibrate while playing based on the vibration control information.

In some embodiments, the server may detect the vibration control information before uploading the vibration control information to the audio library. When a proportion of the total duration of all the beat periods to the entire duration of the target audio is out of the predetermined proportion range, or when the number of all the beat periods is out of the predetermined number range, the vibration control information may be deleted, that is, the vibration control information is not uploaded to the music library. The proportion of the total duration of all the beat periods and the number of all the beat periods are recorded in the vibration control information.

In step 203, the terminal plays the target audio and the vibration control information synchronously.

In some embodiments, the terminal receives, from the server, the target audio and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio. Then, an audio playing application program may send an instruction for playing the target audio to the terminal; the target audio may be played through a speaker or an externally connected earphone; and the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio is performed when the audio starts to be played.

In some embodiments, the instruction for playing the target audio is received; and the target audio is acquired and decoded; and in the case that a predetermined duration elapses upon receipt of the instruction for playing the target audio, the decoded data of the target audio is played.

In some embodiments, after receiving the instruction for playing the target audio, the terminal may decode the target audio to generate decoded data which can be played by the terminal. However, because a processing capability of a processor in the terminal is unstable in practice, duration by which the terminal decodes the target audio is uncertain. As a result, play time of the target audio is uncertain, such that the vibration period in the vibration control information may not coincide with the beat period in the target audio. The predetermined duration may be set in the terminal to ensure that the vibration period in the vibration control information coincides with the beat period in the target audio. When the instruction for playing the target audio is received, the terminal may decode the target audio within the predetermined duration. The decoded data of the target audio may start to be played when the predetermined duration is reached after the terminal receives the instruction for playing the target audio. At the same time, the terminal is controlled to vibrate based on the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio.

In step 204, when any vibration period of at least one vibration period is played, the terminal is controlled to vibrate based on vibration attribute information corresponding to the vibration period.

In some embodiments, when the terminal plays the audio, the music playing application program may control the vibration motor in the terminal to vibrate based on the vibration period and the vibration attribute information which are recorded in the vibration control information corresponding to the target audio. A vibration control instruction may be sent to the terminal when a predetermined sending duration before the beat period in the target audio is reached during playing of the target audio by the terminal, wherein the vibration control instruction carries vibration attribute information and a vibration period. After the control instruction is received, when the beat period in the target audio is played, the terminal may control the vibration motor in the terminal to vibrate based on the vibration attribute information and the vibration period which are carried in the vibration control instruction.

According to this embodiment of the present disclosure, by acquiring vibration control information corresponding to a target audio, and controlling a terminal to vibrate based on the vibration control information when the target audio is played, the terminal is enabled to not only play the audio to a user through a speaker or an earphone, but also present the audio via vibration. Therefore, the versatility and flexibility of presenting/playing audios by the terminal are improved.
